Nissan Primera P12: Hands free advice please!!

 

Anyway the test installation was a complete confirmation of what you guys said, and I thought, proving that the dealer knows Jack.  The kit didnt fit  so back to the dealer tomorrow!!!!

 

I have attached a couple of photos to this message just so you can confirm i'm playing with the right wiring, before I insert the kit somewhere then regret it later lol

 

Do you know any of the part numbers for the phone kits available for the post '04? and the phones that fit it? that would be really helpful!

 

Thanks in advance.

 

So i'm thinking the multiplug is the phone wiring and the white connecter underneath is the aerial socket?

 

 

Heres hoping you can help!

So I'm guessing that i need the KE283-BA000 and a 28334-BA100, and a new phone to fit that kit, which I think I have in a drawer somewhere.  I'm going back to the Dealer to see if he'll exchange the kit for the right one. (wish me luck )

 

The confusing bit for me is the later kit is for '05 model onward, The kit I bought is the up to 2004, and my car is a 2004, is it possible mine is a 2005 car shipped in early and registered in 2004?

So this is how the story goes in brief, from start to finish:

 

1. Bought the kit listed for the car / chassis number. £230.00

 

2. Tried to fit it, and failed.

 

3. Returned the kit to the dealer (unopened)

 

4. Ordered the kit for the '05 onward model, with the Nokia Cradle, £425.00

 

5. Was told by the dealer that the first kit is not returnable and I would have to keep it.

 

6. Phoned Nissan Customer Service who said it was the dealers fault  and nothing to do with the fact THEY listed the wrong parts next to the VIN No.

 

7. Dealer phoned me back and said they felt bad about the situation and would sell me the new part at cost price, and would also ammend the incorrect kit to cost price. Total = £410.00.

 

8. I think about this and realize i'm getting the kit I need (retail £425.00) and keeping the new kit I dont need (retail =£230.00) all for £410.00. So I say "OK THEN" Go Westway Oldham!!!

 

9. Take posession of the new kit, after 4 days wait! Take it home and fit it, doddle!!!!

 

So in conclusion, Nissan Customer Service Dept SUCK!!! Westway Nissan ROCK!!! and I'm now a happy primera owner with a integrated car phone, bought for £15 cheaper than retail, with a pre '05 kit thown in free for all the trouble. I've still spent £415.00 on a car phone, which I wouldnt have done if that was the price I had been quoted initially, but hey you live and learn.

 

The Kit is easy to fit, and well worth having, the call quality is fantastic, all the cars buttons work and it mutes the radio / sat nav etc. In my opinion its well worth having. If albeit expensive.

 

If anyone needs any help, or advise in this area, I be happy to pass on my newly gained knowledge PM me or Mail Me.  I took lots of pictures while fitting the kit, so over the weekend I will be putting together a walkthrough for the "How to" section of the forums. I shall be selling the pre '05 kit, complete with compatable phone soon, I will advertise it in the Trading section of the forums and probably on the bay, and see if I can get my money back  so watch these spaces!!!!

 

Finally, Thanks for all the help / advise you guys have given me during my first modding install. I couldnt / wouldnt have done it without you!!!!.

Hope it may help someone!
